Birding at Brackenridge Park – Avenue A

This morning, I continued my weekend of visiting new birdwatching locations around town. Based on a recommendation from birders I met yesterday, I ventured over to Avenue A at Brackenridge Park. It’s a small road that follows the San Antonio River at Brackenridge.

I have always been a morning person and always officially birded in the morning. Usually, I start around 8 AM but this time I wanted to try out birding in the evening. Birds are most active when the sun rises and right before it sets.
